SLOW COOKER CHILI RECIPE
Hours of low and slow cooking in a clay pot create the best chili! Why? All the flavors and spices marry each other and the meat becomes incredibly tender, just as a GREAT chili should be.

HOW TO MAKE CHILI IN A CLAY POT
This is not a recipe for “dump it all into your slow cooker.” As much as I appreciate the ease of that idea, you simply miss out on the flavors created by browning your meat first and sautéing your aromatics. It really makes all the difference! Yes, it’s an extra step, but it’s worth it. Once you’ve cooked your meat and vegetables, you can dump everything into your slow cooker and let it take over.
The scents that float through your house will almost drive you crazy. You’ll be tempted to dig early (I’ve been there, done that), and you can do it after about 5 hours of slow cooking if temptation wins. 6.7 or 8 hours although… They are the magic numbers. The longer, the better.
TIP: Use a 6- or 7-quart slow cooker.
